botdelete problem ?

[Uleat]

If you use ^pset [air|water|earth|fire], it should keep that pet under most circumstances.

I think the only way to side-step it is to quickly camp a bot after its pet dies.

I did use the ^pset fire on the mage. He does keep the fire pet, even after total server
shutdown/reboot then respawning, he keeps that pet.

On the issue of bots zoning, it seems to be directly an issue with the mage bot. I tried
several different classes and combinations and they all zoned no problem. Necro, Enc,
Beastlord, all zoned with pets, even when all grouped together, but as soon as I add a
mage bot to the picture, none of them zone. Weird.

What level is the character that you're experiencing this with?

Also, what zones are you zoning between?


If I can replicate the issue, I stand a pretty good chance of finding and fixing the issue

I was using level 20 characters recently. I have tried it with level 35 and 65 as well.
I am simply zoning between PoK and Nexus for testing.

Got something new that I found in the problem. I have to test other RACES with the
mage bot. I was doing all that with a HUMAN mage bot. I just tried a gnome mage bot
and it zoned no problem.

That's pretty specific..I'll see what I can dig up tonight - thanks

I can confirm now, it definately is only the human mage that doesn't zone.
I tried all other races and they all zoned. Then I spawned the human again,
and it would not zone. I'm going to try other human casters and see if it's
an issue with other human classes.

Ok, things have got better. It definately was something on this end. I wiped the whole
bots schema from DB and redid it all. The human mage bots are zoning now. It was
driving me nuts (chuckle), after I tried out all the human classes, the mage was a pita.
So far, after 3 tries, they zone properly when grouped with me and the pets they cast
are the normal mage pets. (not monster). I didn't make any adjustments to the DB, so
not sure how it got a little buggy that way and more confusing it was only the human
mage's. Burgers and Beer. The only two things that make sense. (chuckle)

I'm glad it was resolved!

I almost felt bad last night when I tested human mages and they zoned properly :/

[DanCanDo]

I was feeling guilty after you putting that effort in to the problem, when it turned out
to be something on my end. I don't like to pick people's brains unless mine are starving.
But I really appreciate your help anyways, so thank you.

Hehe! No worries!
